I'm all for innocent until proven guilty and that philosophy certainly conflicts me in all of these harassment claims. Part of me feels like none of our elected officials and others should be compelled to resign, or drop out of a political race, based simply on claims or charges of inappropriate behavior. I really wish every claim or charge could be properly adjudicated, especially when the accused claims innocence.
I believe both parties play politics in this arena, which might be just as disgusting. It reflects very poorly on all of us. Our political process is maturing to now include a supercharged effort to find sexual harassment ghosts in a candidate's closet. On one hand, if claims/charges are true they reflect a serious character flaw with the accused, and one that I believe makes a person unfit to serve. On the other hand, claims and charges could be manufactured or exaggerated in order to simply change a political outcome.
When timing does not allow our legal process to properly adjudicate these claims/charges, we are all left with our own judgement based on the information we have at that time. Based on all I've heard, I would not be able to cast my vote for Moore.
